Sydney Peaks is a rolling intermediate trail that starts really steep just for a little bit then levels off. You traverse along the edge of Sidney Peaks Ridge heading towards the Sidney Peaks Overlook. Sometimes there are a bit of loose rocks, but the trail just follows the ridge. There are beautiful views of the Brian Head below, and you can see the small rock out cropping that is Sydney Peak as you climb along the base of it up and over the saddle towards Bunker Creek.
